As a software UI (User Interface) engineer, own software deliverables as needed to enable solutions for incisionless surgery.

For centuries now, surgery has been about invasive and painful manipulation of tissue with one or more tools. Even the most recent advances in the field have not been able to break this fundamental constraint. We are changing that. At Petal, we are on a mission to make incisionless surgery the standard of interventional care, for everyone, everywhere.
